>Bwahaha. Since when is business, or hell life in general fair?

Fatalism sounds wise but is not. Life is fairer than it used to be and can be fairer than it is now. We cannot end injustice, but we can end this injustice.

Besides, the US alleges crimes.

It isn’t fatalism, it’s ownership. Fatalism would be saying ‘nothing can ever be fair’. Which isn’t true.

If one assumes life is or should be fair, then when it is not one is a victim of others and has little means to resolve it directly. After all, that should never have even been possible!

If one assumes life is not fair, then one has awareness of risks and choices they can make (and a realistic view of choices they don’t have).

If one wants to make a just and fair society, recognizing it is an abstraction on a fundamentally unfair foundation is important. Or you’ll just end up with a delusion plastered on top of another delusion.

Allegations are also easy. A verdict is a different matter. We’ll see what happens.

And frankly, if life was actually fair - we wouldn’t need a justice system at all, would we?
